Gorslas is a village and community in Carmarthenshire, Wales, sitting amid rolling farmland on the edge of the Gwendraeth Valley. It lies close to the small commercial hub at Cross Hands and is a short drive from the larger town of Llanelli, giving it a semi-rural, commuter-friendly character.
Historically the locality was shaped by agriculture and the nearby coal workings of west Carmarthenshire, and today blends local businesses and light industry with residential life. The area retains a strong Welsh-language and community identity, reflected in clubs, chapels and local events that keep a close-knit social fabric despite modern commuting patterns.
